Mother's Milk by Edward St Aubyn
The once wealthy Melroses are in peril. Caught in the wreckage of broken promises, adultery and assisted suicide, Patrick finds his wife consumed by motherhood, and his five-year-old son Robert understanding far more than he ought. This novel is an exploration of the troubled allegiances between parents and children, husbands and wives.
"'So good - so fantastically well-written, profound and humane.. it is heart-stopping' Observer 'The bravura quality of St Aubyn's performance is irresistible' Sunday Telegraph 'Wonderful caustic wit... Polished yet profound, it's even better than his previous work, and that's saying something' Guardian 'Mother's Milk has the cerebral excitement and piercing funniness of St Aubyn at his brilliant best' Tatler"
